  • Digital Photography Basics for Beginners
    DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY BASICS FOR BEGINNERS by Robert Berdan [email protected] www.canadiannaturephotographer.com These notes are free to use by anyone learning or teaching photography. 1. Choosing a camera - there are 2 main types of compact cameras A) Point and Shoot Camera (some have interchangeable lenses most don't) - you view the scene on a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, some cameras also offer viewfinders. B) Single Lens Reflex (SLR) - cameras with interchangeable lenses let you see the image through the lens that is attached to the camera. What you see is what you get - this feature is particularly valuable when you want to use different types of lenses. Digital SLR Camera with Interchangeable zoom lens 1 Point and shoot cameras are small, light weight and can be carried in a pocket. These cameras tend to be cheaper then SLR cameras. Many of these cameras offer a built in macro mode allowing extreme close-up pictures. Generally the quality of the images on compact cameras is not as good as that from SLR cameras, but they are capable of taking professional quality images. SLR cameras are bigger and usually more expensive. SLRs can be used with a wide variety of interchangeable lenses such as telephoto lenses and macro lenses. SLR cameras offer excellent image quality, lots of features and accessories (some might argue too many features). SLR cameras also shoot a higher frame rates then compact cameras making them better for action photography. Their disadvantages include: higher cost, larger size and weight. They are called Single Lens Reflex, because you see through the lens attached to the camera, the light is reflected by a mirror through a prism and then the viewfinder.

  • Exposure Basics
    Exposure Basics Exposure is governed by five related factors. You need to understand these factors and how they relate to each other to deal with difficult lighting problems. These factors are: The intensity of light falling on the scene, known as incident light. The intensity of light reflected by the scene, known as reflected light. The sensitivity of your camera's image sensor, known as the ISO value. The aperture of your lens, known as the f-stop. The duration that the shutter is open, known as the shutter speed. The good news is that despite many lighting variables, people have been taking well-exposed photos long before the first practical light meter was introduced in 1932. Click HERE to see what professional photogra- phers using vintage cameras were doing between 1905 and 1917. Incident Light Outdoors, the intensity of incident light falling on the scene can vary from 100,000 lux in full sunlight to 0.0001 lux in weak starlight. Lighting levels on an overcast day or stadium lighting for televised professional sports might run from 2,000 to 3,500 lux. Indoors, the intensity of light can vary from 0.0 lux in Carlsdbad Caverns with the lights out to 50 lux in a dim suburban living room to 600 lux in a well-lighted office or a television studio. Outdoors, the intensity of incident light can vary minute by minute as clouds move in front of the sun and the sun moves across the sky. Reflected Light We use reflected light to capture photographic images. The amount of incident light reaching the camera sensor via the lens depends on the scene's 18 reflectance.

The number of megapixels a camera features can also help to determine the size photos you can print or the amount of cropping you can do. Generally 3-6 megapixels will be enough for general snapshots and can be blown up to virtually any size under a 20x24 and still be sharp. Higher megapixels do not always produce a better print. Only if you plan to blow it up to huge sizes. If you definitely want to something you want to frame go for the higher megs. The higher the megapixels the more room it takes up on your memory card When you transfer the photos to your computer it takes up more room with higher megapixel use.
